When looking at the Mud Connector List tab and selecting a mud.

If the mud description scrolls, the gradient turns solid as you scroll down and then when you start to scroll back up, it makes a hard cut from the bottom color to upper color.

If you click on the description box, it will repaint the gradient properly.

While this isn't an application breaking bug, I thought I'd report it, because similar issues might be happening elsewhere.

Yep, I know about that. It's a problem with how Windows (doesn't) handle transparent controls. The memo control that has the description is a bit kludged to allow the background to show through, but it can't scroll the background properly. I doubt stuff like this will get fixed for a long long time since it requires many low level changes to the Developer Express controls library that could have serious side effects. Right now I'm mainly hoping that Vista has better support for transparent controls and that this kind of problem will eventually go away.
